A-Liga is a semi-professional association football league in Denmark and the highest division of the Danish football league system. Contested by 8 clubs, it operates on a system of promotion and relegation within the Danish Women's Football League. The league is overseen by the Danish Football Association (DBU). Clubs in the league must meet certain criteria concerning appropriate facilities and finances. All 8 clubs in the league qualify for the Danish Women's Cup (DBU KvindePokalen). Each season's winners and runners-up qualify for the UEFA Women's Champions League qualification, while the bronze medallists qualify for the UEFA Women's Europa Cup qualification.
According to FIFA's 2023 Women's Benchmarking Report, the 2021-22 league season drew an average of 388 fans per game, 57% of players had signed compensated player contracts (with an average annual salary of $10-15k USD), and 29% of players enjoyed football as their primary income. A rise in interest and participation in women's football has driven increased investment into the league in recent years, although the best players in Denmark still often depart for fully professional clubs abroad.
